Zumba

Who all is trying out Zumba? It is a new big deal where i live. I have thought about going, but I CAN'T DANCE! I watched some video's on youtube and noticed that everyone seems to know the dance moves. How does the class work? What's been your experience with it?

They have a video you can order. The first video teaches you all the moves. I haven't been to a class, but I have done the videos, which are done by the guy who invented Zumba. Pretty cool and fun, and you supposedly burn about 1000cal per 1hr workout! I just lack the discipline to keep it up. :(

You'll get the steps better and better as you go along. I went to a demo and kept up well enough. The music is motivating. I don't know if you remember aerobic dance? It's a lot like that set to a Latin beat.
